This is an example based on mbed-os cellular APIs that demonstrates a TCP or UDP echo transaction with a public echo server. Included TPB23 NB-IoT module which is can use LGU+ in Korea.

This example is showing how to use the NB-IoT(SECOM TPB23 module) of LGU plus network in Korea. The NB-IoT module' seller provided a document on how to start based on Mbed OS 5.11. (Created by CodeZoo) This guide has been supported to the latest os version which included 5.12 ~ 5.15.

  • if you need specific version of Mbed OS, please revision of TPB23_Driver and check it out.
  • Pelion ready example code is here!
